Bird watching

In Mallorca, the Kentish Plover can be found in the Albufera, s’Albufereta and Es Trenc nature parks, as well as on Es Cavallet beach, between March and June.

However, the arrival of large numbers of visitors to the beaches of the island at this time of year can have a negative impact on the nesting pro­ cess.

This has led the authorities to create protected ‘breeding islands’ of up to 300 square metres, as well as clearing undergrowth for the birds to feed and installing information panels requesting visitors to keep off the sand dunes.

Users are reminded that paper products go in the blue container, including newspapers, magazines, envelopes, sheets of paper, cardboard boxes, notebooks and wrapping paper. However, used kitchen roll and drink cartons should not be deposited in the blue container, and should instead go in the organic ­ brown ­ and yellow containers, respectively.
